gonna check this out despite rolling my eyes throughout the review - apparently it's written in stone that Choirs is the only good Kayo Dot, before this one, despite Dowsing Anemone in Copper Tongue being one of the most beautiful and strange albums that exist in the world?

It's nice to hear Driver go back to a much heavier sound but I'm not sure this all works out to be the masterpiece people have been telling me it is. Maybe my expectations were too high going in. I'll have to give this some time to see if it comes together for me.

I think the vocals are what really hold this back for me, because musically a lot of aspects of this are better than Choirs IMO.
They've never been great on any Kayo Dot/MOTW records but I think this album is the one where Driver's ambitions are most
limited by them.
